Shouldn't *TCP* use an ephemeral source port, and expect replies to be to the source port?

If you have an asymmetric signalling client, then this test is not useful -- actually nat traversal cannot be done for asymmetric signalling (when client sends from one address (ip+port) and expects traffic back to another address). You haven't included the contact address, but anyhow probably the reply is not expected on port 44717 as it is indicated in Via. The phone expects some natted environment, as it requested "rport" handling (send back the reply to the port from where the request was received). If it wanted asymmetric signalling, then rport is not needed. If it knew it sends and receives to the same port, also rport would not be needed. Maybe this is just baresip approach not to detect local port of the tcp connection, putting a random value in Via and setting rport parameter. You can tune the test for your specific environment/client apps, but for the vast majority of the cases I encountered over the years, this test is the best one to detect clients behind nat that are using stun.
